Motorola Moto G Turbo Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
In a way, the Moto G Turbo seems to be what the Moto G (3rd-gen) should have been. The Turbo is certainly priced slightly higher, but it comes with the promise of better performance and fast charging capabilities, along with all the usual traits associated with Motorola devices – sturdy build, pure Android and reliable service assurance.But the competition in the price range of below Rs 15,000 is menacing with loaded options like the entry-level variants of the ASUS ZenFone 2 (review FAQs) and Samsung Galaxy J7 (first impressions).

The Turbo is certainly priced slightly higher, but it comes with the promise of better performance and fast charging capabilities, along with all the usual traits associated with Motorola devices – sturdy build, pure Android and reliable service assurance.But the competition in the price range of below Rs 15,000 is menacing with loaded options like the entry-level variants of the ASUS ZenFone 2 (review FAQs) and Samsung Galaxy J7 (first impressions). However, if you’re looking for a phone that can be used easily with one hand, then the only other option is the Xiaomi Mi 4i, although if you increase your budget slightly, then you can get your hands on the Lenovo Vibe S1 (review).In the end, it boils down to the fact that the Moto G Turbo follows the brand’s mantra of valuing user experience over specs, and there’s no doubt that it scores well on that front.
Pros
- Sturdy and durable build
- Good performance
- Fast charging
- Almost stock Android interface
Cons
- Not as loaded as the competition
- HD display
- Average camera performance

A clone of the Moto G (3rd-gen) in most aspects
+
The Moto G Turbo is virtually identical to the third-gen Moto G, be it the looks, display, software platform or the camera department. If you want to read more about those aspects, then you can check out our review of the Moto G 3rd-gen.

Performance: power raised to 8
+
One of the biggest niggles with the third-gen Moto G is the fact that it’s powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 – a mid-range quad-core processor from Qualcomm, which powers affordable phones such as the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime (review) and YU Yuphoria (review). The Moto G Turbo comes equipped with the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 CPU. The chipset is formed by the combination of four high-power cores running at 1.5GHz and four low-power cores humming at 1.0GHz. Complementing the processor is 2GB of RAM, unlike the Moto G 3rd-gen, which is available in both 1GB or 2GB options.

Battery: going the extra mile
+
While the battery capacity (2,470mAh) remains the same in the Moto G Turbo as its sibling, the new device manages to deliver on its promise of an all-day battery life. It was easily able to last about a day of use, even after pushing it with calling, internet surfing, a few minutes of gaming and photography. In our battery drain test, where we play a 720p video with both the volume and brightness set at 50 percent, the Turbo performed decently with the above-average result of more than eight hours and a half before giving up.
